Re: My 20v turbo Corolla wagon project
 

First post, saw you're post on club4ag and wanted to check it out.

The difference is the VOLUME of air (oxygen) - the PRESSURE is irrelevant.

The reason the other 20v turbo was able to make 200whp at such low boost is there was a large volume or quatity of air (ie oxygen) being forced into the motor.

For instance, say you have a garden hose, no matter how much pressure is behind the water you can only get 1X amount of water through the hose. Now if you had a fire hose you could move 3X the amount through without maxing it out.

The concern is the t3 with the compressor/turbine set up you have will be working so hard it will max out and force air so hot into the motor all your going to do is detonate/ping and harm your motor trying to produce the HP @ the rpms the 20v motor will reach.

Ok so it is all about heat then. I understand now thanks a lot guys.

So what do you guys think I should run for psi safely on my motor?

Re: My 20v turbo Corolla wagon project
 

It's about exhaust volume x turbine speed/compressor setup x output volume - not psi.

A properly set up turbo system is designed to run within the parameters of the turbo, what everyone here is trying to say is the T3 turbo and horsepower you're trying to see is on the outside of what you can realistically see.

I'd imagine you could see 190-220 crank hp easily enough (say 165-190 at the wheels) before you'll run into problems with the turbo's turbine spinning so fast that it overheats the turbo ( if you push it too far it'll crap out and destroy itself ).

But I haven't done any research of the volumetric efficiency and ability of the 20v to give you any real world answers.

Cool. I think I will swap in the .60 comp wheel from a 280zx to be safe.

Thanks guys, glad I posted on here!

Re: My 20v turbo Corolla wagon project
 

Im glad too there Sweet Tits! :P

Re: My 20v turbo Corolla wagon project
 

Hey, what can I say.

Is it dificult to swap the comp wheel on a turbo? Whats involved?

Re: My 20v turbo Corolla wagon project
 

Rebalancing by a professional I'm afraid.

Re: My 20v turbo Corolla wagon project
 

Oh IC. Later on down the line I guess than..

I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Re: My 20v turbo Corolla wagon project
 

You comin down on the 10th?

Re: My 20v turbo Corolla wagon project
 

Yes I will be there but my motor wont be built by then (waiting on valves from Japan). Maybe I'll bring my 280zx and a new downpipe or something fun to like that.
